Free Damm

Spain·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

Free Damm is Damm's alcohol-free lager. It is made from the same kind of ingredients as the brewery's alcoholic beers, barley malt, maize, rice and hops, and fermented normally before vacuum distillation takes the alcohol down to 0.0 %. Aroma compounds lost in that step are recovered and returned to the beer. It pours a clear amber with golden edges and a light head. Hops and fresh white-flower notes lead a clean, intense nose, and the palate is delicate, with fresh cereal and toast, a smooth feel and a balanced bitterness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh Edelhopfen character and delicate white-flower notes, creating an aromatic profile that is both clean and intense. Beneath lies a subtle cereal note from the grain base, avoiding any yeasty or solvent-like off-aromas typical of poorly managed alcohol removal. The recovered aroma compounds contribute to a well-balanced, composed bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens delicate and smooth, with fresh cereal and toasted malt notes unfolding across the mid-palate. A balanced bitterness emerges (17 IBU) without harshness, complemented by a crisp, refreshing quality that maintains the expected mouthfeel of a traditional lager. The finish carries a subtle bready undertone with lingering hoppy definition.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the hoppy bitterness receding gracefully while a gentle cereal sweetness persists briefly. Carbonation supports a refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip without fatigue.
